AdWords Outage

Worldwide?

[eWhisper]

Throughout the day, many very commercial searches have shown 0 ads. A refresh or another search usually brought some ads back.

For the past several minutes - no ads at all have been shown (at least on the IPs I've checked).

Is everyone seeing this same outage?

[flobaby]

Yep, I noticed it, too.

[jtara]

Yes - we just double-posted on this.

I noticed the post on the long thread about the hotels affiliate abuse. Somebody said they were seeing no ads for "hotels" but ads for "hotel". I checked, and found no ads for "hotel" either. So, then I got suspicious, and tried a few more terms - nada.

just when i was thinking to use Adwords again!

[flobaby]

Don't let this stop you, it's not like we're paying for anything...no show, no charge.

[LeoXIV]

interesting, I switched IPs, now I can see Adwords in all its vibrant colors!

AdWords Outage - Worldwide?

Now there is a title that catches my eye! Needless to say, this is being looked into as a priority. ;)

All of you on Forum81 and all of us here at Adwords do share a certain fondness for those ads running, eh?

As do more than a few of us from forum 89.

Excellent point, ken_b, and thanks for that.

Please feel free to quote my post here over in the AdSense Forum, if my colleague ASA has not already stepped in - and if there is an active thread on the subject. ;)

Until some of the posters there learn to do more than copy ¦paste ..and learn to read other threads than their own and "why hasn't my check got here yet" ..don't expect them to catch on ..less of course Brett allows the posting of blink tags over there ..

"stony ground" ..malheuresement ..

you guys make basic literacy a prerequisite for admission to adsense and remove the navel gazing aspect of it in favour of create content and actually be able to read as opposed to copy and paste others content and maybe read and you'll get a lot more cred for the thing ;)...and they'd catch on faster ..maybe ;)

I just sent an email off to adsense support - silly me for not checking here first!

Boy, something like this really freaks you out when you've been making alot of changes to your site. All of a sudden one has to start trying to figure out "Oh, crap! What have I done?" lol

Sorry adsense support for an unneccesary email.

I get

on AdSense and AdWords.

[pontifex]

me too ... seems to be a worldwide prob!

I'm having strange symptoms... I had no problems up until about 3PM Eastern today. Then all of a sudden, the impressions and clicks just STOPPED immediately and have not been updated since. I checked my traffic logs and in fact I'm not received any impressions from the content network.

Can anyone else confirm problems on the content network?

[HitProf]

I saw a few empty adsense blocks on one of my sites earlier today but they are fine now. Netherlands. Perhaps you have a delay in reporting?

I don't use Adwords after about the 22nd day of each month. For some reason, conversion drop dramatically after the 3rd week in each month. This strange scenario does not happen with Overture.
